The cynical yet always insightful and often hilarious political/financial commentaries that once characterized the Insightful Pontificator can now be found at Mighty Quinn on Politics and Money. The Pontificator remains the reflective, often humorous, and always thought provoking repository of my musings on a multitude of other topics. Faith will be a major topic; believe (it) or not, faith provides plenty of grist for the piquant commentary Pontificator readers have come to expect.

This post, on the placement of the Obama Library at the old
South Works site, is the aforementioned masterpiece not only because it
continues my usual practice of skewering our poseur (An earlier mayor, from the Chicago’s days of greatness, may
have said “faker.”) mayor but also because it addresses so many issues that are
vital to our crumbling society.

in which I discourse briefly on something that came to me
while praying. This is the type of post
I was putting on Insightful Pontificator
before all my musings migrated to Rant
Lifestyle. Yes, I understand the
irony, or worse, of such a post appearing on a site like Rant Lifestyle, which is one of the reasons I may, and only may, be
going back to my own blogs from Rant. I will, of course, keep you posted.

About Me

Democrat? Republican? As a guy with no patience for liars, fools, or hypocrites, Mighty Quinn has a healthy disdain for pols of both parties.
A professional investor and lifelong observer of politics, Mark Quinn examines global politics primarily, but not exclusively, from a financial perspective. Mr. Quinn also writes extensively on the politics of Chicago, where he grew up surrounded by pros at the art and science of fleecing the taxpayers and enriching their pals. National pols can only gawk as they aspire to such heights of political chicanery.
In addition to Mighty Quinn on Politics and Money, Quinn also writes The Insightful Pontificator. Formerly the repository his political and financial posts, the Pontificator now features Mr. Quinn’s ruminations on faith and religion. Some have suggested it is written to atone for the often ferocious rants one finds on the Mighty Quinn site.
Mr. Quinn was a featured writer on the Rant Political and Rant Finance sites. He has also written two novels on Chicago politics, The Chairman and The Chairman’s Challenge. Both do for Chicago politics what The Godfather did for the New York Mob.
